I'll never disagree with a logically sensible statement, where I looked up
whether or not you get updates if you install first from F-Droid (or
wherever) and then you turn on Advanced Protection.

Apparently, as Arno stated, you don't get any more updates, whether
automatic or manual. 

What I find amusing, which probably most people won't understand the humor
of, is *Google is mostly offering protection against itself*.

Me?
I don't have a google account set up on the phone.

So much of what Advanced Protection is protecting me from, doesn't exist.
